Not only to keep yourself motivated, which might be obvious, but also to make sure you are casting the right net. You want to make sure you are being the right kind of fishermen of opportunities.
If you don’t share with others what you want, if you don’t tell people where you want to go. How would they know how to help you? - It might be against your best interest to be a secret agent of your own desires.
Imagine if we used this logic for everything else, if we exaggerated. If I never told a boss I wanted to advance in a company, if I never told my spouse when I was happy, when I was upset. How effective could I possibly be at achieving results? Not effective at all I think.
You would be surprised how many times I shared an idea with someone, a goal I had in mind, only to find me sitting right across the person that could make it happen. Coincidence? Maybe, but it’s also playing a numbers game in the right way. If I told a hundred people I wanted to visit a place, what are the chances someone will not only know the place, but maybe give me a tip, an indication as to how I can get there. Someone who could help me see an opportunity.
